I want to see how to learn



As crazy as it sounds, there was a student who came in my office and asked me if I could do him a favor. Well depends on what the favor is, so he proceeded with his request. When he said what he had to say, I gave him THE LOOK and asked him if he was in his right mind. We all know what THE LOOK is right? When you cock your head to one side and look up from under your eyelids...ok stop cracking up, I'm trying to type here.

I must continue. The request was if there was something I could look up to see what his instructor looked like. I said, "Excuse me." I really didn't mean to sound like he was stupid, but ok ok, he sounded stupid. He began to tell me that his learning is based on what his instructor looks like. He said that if he had an ugly instructor that he wouldn't be able to learn the right way. He wanted to see if they were old or young, and with or without posture. I then asked Job's wife cousin, I meant this fool--how in the fa sheezy heezy did that have to do with anything.

So being the "semi-professional" that I "sometimes" try to be at work, I told him that I would call someone to see if there was such a thing. I be darn if I called another department and told them what this man wanted if they didn't burst out laughing on the phone. I am soooooo glad that I didn't have them on speaker phone. I wanted to laugh with them but I held it in and I could feel my blood vessels busting in my gut ready to explode. Yes, this man wanted to see his instructor before class to determine if they were pretty or ugly enough to teach him. I've heard several things come through my office but this was not one of them.
